Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Tyrell Shavers caught four of his five targets for a team-high 90 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His biggest play of the game was a 43-yard touchdown that temporarily gave Buffalo the lead in the second quarter. Shavers capitalized on an increased opportunity to produce with
Keon Coleman (coach's decision) inactive. The third-year receiver played 53.6% of the offensive snaps, setting a new career-high. Coleman should return to action next week, but Shavers has shown that he deserves to compete for more opportunities alongside Coleman,
Khalil Shakir, and
Joshua Palmer.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. had 19 carries, 73 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was unable to haul in either of his two targets in the passing game. Etienne ceded early-game touches to
Bhayshul Tuten (ankle), but then the rookie left the game with an injury, clearing the way for Etienne to re-establish himself as the lead back. The 26-year-old took full advantage of the opportunity, helping fuel a 35-6 upset victory at home. If Tuten is healthy in Week 12, we could see somewhat of a 50/50 backfield split, as both running backs have proven that they are effective and can provide a spark. In a split backfield, Etienne is a low-end RB2. However, he would jump to the RB1 tier if he operates as the workhorse or if Tuten misses time.

Houston Texans wide receiver
Nico Collins caught nine of his 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans. Collins paced the team in all major receiving categories, building on an equally impressive performance from back in Week 10. The Texans' top receiver has strung together three impressive games in a row, amassing at least 10 targets, seven receptions, and 14.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of those contests. He ranks as a top-24 fantasy receiver this season, but his latest hot streak has him teetering on the edge of the WR1 tier for a Week 12 contest against the Buffalo Bills that will likely require
C.J. Stroud (concussion) to throw a lot.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kenneth Gainwell was a stud through the air during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gainwell saw increased playing time with
Jaylen Warren (ankle) barely playing in the second half. The 26-year-old rushed the ball nine times and was held to 26 yards on the ground. However, Gainwell was excellent in the receiving game this weekend. He hauled in seven of his eight targets for 81 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win. Gainwell could see a larger workload if Warren is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update. Gainwell could be a popular waiver wire addition ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

San Francisco 49ers kicker
Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Pineiro appears to have pulled his hamstring during the second half of this contest. The assumption is that punter Thomas Morstead would take over as the kicker for the rest of the contest. The 49ers are already up multiple scores in the middle of the fourth quarter. That being said, San Francisco might elect to not kick at all. Before exiting, Pineiro knocked down all three field goal attempts, while connecting on 2-of-4 extra points kicks in this game. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Pineiro.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson seemed unstoppable during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson saw a heavy workload as he rushed the ball 23 times for 104 yards and scored two touchdowns in the overtime loss. Robinson scored a one-yard and a four-yard touchdown, so not flashy plays, but he got the job done. He also hauled in four of his five targets for an additional 39 yards through the air. Robinson had a few sluggish weeks, but he is back to giving fantasy managers elite value. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12.

Los Angeles Rams tight end
Tyler Higbee (ankle) is currently considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Higbee suffered an ankle injury during the second half of this contest. The severity of the issue is unclear, but it's already the fourth quarter, so it's uncertain if he'll return. Before exiting, Higbee hauled in one of his two targets for 23 yards.
Terrance Ferguson figures to move up the depth chart and take on a larger role for the rest of this game, assuming Higbee doesn't return.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Gabriel was pulled out and was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. He didn't join the team in the second half and is officially done for the day. Before exiting, Gabriel completed 7-of-10 passing attempts for 68 yards. Now,
Shedeur Sanders will take over under center for the rest of this game. Sanders is making his NFL debut and gets a chance to prove himself with his team leading to begin the second half.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Jacobs was pulled out in the second quarter due to a knee issue and didn't return. He finished the game with seven carries for 40 yards in the victory. The organization is uncertain of the severity of the injury right now, but doesn't believe it's a season-ending injury. Jacobs is set to undergo further testing on Monday. If he misses time,
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks would stand to gain value. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Monday.
UPDATE: Jacobs will have more tests on his left knee on Monday. He was able to briefly return after jamming his knee into the MetLife Stadium turf in Sunday's 27-20 win before leaving for good. There is optimism that Jacobs will be back soon.--Andy WebbSource: Adam Schefter

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan caught eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. McMillan continues to showcase a phenomenal rapport with
Bryce Young, fetching at least eight targets in eight of his first 11 games. The rookie set new season-highs (and, thus, career-highs) in targets, catches, and receiving yards on Sunday. He'll look to build on his momentum as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside entering Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Sean Tucker had 19 carries, 106 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He also caught two passes for 34 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was sidelined again this week, and Tucker established himself as the primary option out of the backfield over
Rachaad White. The 24-year-old showed plenty of explosiveness, as two of his three touchdowns came from 28+ yards. The Bucs can make a case for having the best backfield in the NFL, as Irving, Tucker, and White have all shown that they're capable of being an RB1 in fantasy football. Irving should reclaim the lead-back role when healthy, but both White and Tucker deserve to handle a large dose of touches, too. Tucker is a fantasy RB2 with Irving sidelined and an RB3/flex with Irving healthy. Tampa Bay takes on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.

Buffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 317 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also added six rushing attempts, 40 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns. Allen was highly efficient in Sunday's explosive outing, both in terms of scoring and yardage. The two turnovers did make his job slightly harder, but he certainly made up for it with the six touchdowns. He continues to be a spectacular, must-start fantasy option and will rank as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Houston Texans.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Houston Texans, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. Ayomanor played through the injury, as he was on the field for 84.7 percent of the snaps and never exited with any sort of injury designation. The rookie finished the game with six targets, two catches, and 11 receiving yards. Although he struggled to deliver meaningful production, he did see a decent target share after
Calvin Ridley (leg) and
Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) were both ruled out. Ridley is done for the season, and Dike is at risk of missing next week's game in concussion protocol. As a result, Ayomanor has a chance to lead the Titans' receiving corps against the Seahawks in Week 12, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up.
Van Jefferson should also earn increased opportunities going forward.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (ankle) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had eight rushing yards on five carries, plus two catches for an additional 12 receiving yards. Demercado had been sharing reps as part of the Cardinals' backfield committee, so
Bam Knight should take over as the primary running back for the duration of his absence.
Michael Carter also figures to earn some touches.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) was officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 11 contest with a concussion, but he also suffered a chest contusion in the loss to Houston, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. He finished the game with three targets, two catches, and 14 receiving yards. There's currently no timetable for his return, as Dike must clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can return to action. He will also require treatment and time to rehab his chest injury. When Dike does return, he'll likely step up as the Titans' No. 1 receiver after
Calvin Ridley (leg) suffered a season-ending fibula fracture. In the meantime,
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and
Van Jefferson will lead the Titans' receiving corps.
